Not less than 1 month, Galaxy Note 7 exploded from different places in the world. It comes to the point that Samsung halted the production of their flagship smartphone. But now, another user has reported that his Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge exploded while on charge.
An unnamed employee at one of the four big wireless carriers in the U.S. contacted PhoneArena after a customer brought in a Galaxy S7 Edge which had "exploded." The user of the Galaxy S7 Edge was charging his phone with an original Samsung charger overnight when his phone caught fire automatically. The tip included two photos of the melted phone. Adding insult to injury, the owner of the charred S7 Edge only had it for two weeks after he traded in his Samsung Galaxy Note 7.
According to Computer World, two days earlier, Canadian Elisha Loewen posted pictures of his melted Galaxy S7 Edge after it “burst into flames” as he was driving. At first, he did not expect. He said that something smelled like it was burning and he originally thought it was his engine. He wrote, “Then I notice smoke coming from my console under my radio where I keep my phone. I picked it up and it was extremely hot, then threw it out the car window. I pulled over and covered it in snow to snuff the flame.”
Samsung wanted pictures and the four he posted show extensive damage. Loewen wrote, “I just want a refund so I can buy a phone that’s not a Samsung.”
Another news, back in September, a Galaxy S7 Edge owner in the Philippines posted pictures on Facebook after her phone caught fire while her daughter was allegedly using it.
One more instance has happened earlier this year. A Galaxy S7 Edge reportedly caught fire in a man's pocket and caused third-degree burns.
It's not only the Galaxy S7 Edge, because in September, a teacher from Essex, England had her Galaxy S7 catch fire while she was in a busy restaurant.
Just this month, the Korean company sent pop-up messages to customers reassuring them that their Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge smartphones were safe and that there was nothing to recall for mentioned models. However, in the light of this incident, it may soon become important for Samsung to change strategies in evaluating and reassuring their phones use.
